Valentine’s Pizza Recipe

Cooking with kids even as young as toddler is great and pizza is a favourite recipe that you can make and change up the toppings as you want.

Pizza dough is one of the most forgiving doughs to make and you and your kids will find it really easy to do.

If you do have a bread machine then you can put it on, leave it to go and come back when the dough is ready to part bake and prepare the toppings.

Even if you don’t have a bread maker the pizza by hand is simple and it really doesn’t take as much kneading as normal bread.

Not sure about making the dough yourself – then packet mixes work just as well although personally we find that they don’t have as much flavour as when you bake it yourself.

This Valentine’s Pizza is so easy.
